MP3 Downloads: 100/$5 - 100 Albums for $5 Each

These titles will only be $5 each through July 31, 2011. This is your last chance to take advantage of these offers.

I thought there were some decent titles in this lot, so it's worth checking out

This has been going on since the beginning of July and amazon does it every month. There will be a different set of $5 digital albums on Aug 1st, so if you don't see anything now, check back tomorrow.

@joscott87: Yeah, I'm honestly kind of confused why this got so much positive attention. Amazon has been running this promotion for at least a year, and there have been months where they put 500 or 1000 albums on sale instead.

Meh, the only thing worthwhile is one by Sonic Youth and on from the Aquabats, both of which I already have.

Helplessness Blues, Waking Up, Only By The Night, Trouble, Funeral, Hail To The Thief, Little Hell, and Loverboy are all so worth 5 bones.

Too bad I already have them all.

And the notation "100/$5" means "100 downloads per $5" which is not true, it's only "1 download per $5 for these few albums."

@bitman: well saying 100/$5 doesn't make sense in the first place because 100 is not specified so it is just a number. 100/$5 means absolutely nothing because you cannot balance it into one type of unit. That's like saying 100/(5mg) it just doesn't make sense.

If you buy anything from amazon MP3 DL make sure you back it up somewhere. If you lose it you can't reDL it without paying again!

@plasticpopcorn4: Albums you buy from Amazon are saved the the amazon cloud drive thing now. So you can re-download whenever you want, wherever you want. I put a couple albums on my phone using the android app.

Also any albums you buy from amazon aren't counted towards the 5 gig cloud drive limit. This and the lack of DRM is what keeps me coming back to the $5 sale.

@plasticpopcorn4: Not true .... There is a link to "digital downloads" under you account. It's not easy to get to, but it is there. Also now with amazon's cloud feature any purchase from amazon is backed up to and accessible from your "cloud." I've used this feature to move new purchases to my pc, iPod and android smart phone.

Amazon mp3 services are the best, and coats considerably less than iTunes.

@plasticpopcorn4: The two previous replies are correct, but I just want say I know where you're coming from. Before Amazon put their cloud in place you were on your own. I lost an album in a similar way after my phone went berserk. Receipt in hand, I went right to p2p, eff re-buying.

@echoota: Actually you've been able to re-download well before they started their cloud drive. I had to re-download all my purchases a couple years ago after a hard drive crash. klacour has it correct; It was kind of hidden but the link has always been under the digital downloads section of "your account."

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
